Southeast+Asia


 * Please Note:** The question came up after class about using PowerPoint and other visuals. PowerPoint is fine, but you can only have ONE per group - so that each person isn't fumbling around with the computer and taking up a lot of time. If you can get ONE organized between the group, that's fine and we can do it. You can also use the data projector - which is the overhead I use to show visuals from paper (like the mape of SEAsia I had today). If you have any questions or concerns about this you are welcome to email me - or ask in class next week.
